Overweight since childhood,I spent most of my 30's tipping the scales around 250lbs. At age 41 I took charge of feeding myself by preparing all of my own meals, no more fast foods! I created a way to use my love of cooking, food, and eating to permanently lose over 100lbs. During this time I discovered kettlebells and my own style of training The Kettlebell Swing, bringing out my inner athlete and erasing all signs of former lifelong obesity. It's never too late, YOU CAN DO IT!

Four Minute Swing sets with 12 kg
As usual, I did the math wrong, and this is a 160 rep, 4 minute set, not a 200 rep, 5minute set! But what do you expect, LOL, I was on my forth set of this, after 600 snatches in about 25 minutes!
10 2 hand swings
10 transfers
5, 1 swing, 1 transfer (2 reps per = 10 reps)

I'm actually trying to not count calories! I know how much I eat, and it's time for me to take more responsiblity to stop when I know I'm eating food my body doesn't need. But more about that another time!
Hey Stranger!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you haven't been slacking while I've been near death at the cert. Okay, not really near death, but I did have a hard time walking on Monday!
I'm officially an RCK!!!!!!! It still hasn't sunk in. Check out my blog for some highlights. The only way the weekend could have been better is if you would have been there!
Amy! Right on! The pictures bring back so many memories, isn't the RKC community fun!
ReplyDeleteMark is leaving for Denamark today for the Cert in Copenhagen, and I'll be going on what I call my California Kettlebell Crusade down south to Santa Barbara! Life is great! But, I get to go to every other cert with Mark that he's teaching at this next year! Woo Hoo!
Amy,
